Zooming in on one customer, Volkswagen tracks where they live, when they're home, when they work and at which hours. Hundreds of data points. img.sprovoost.nl/ab583903a0bfbc433e… […] [Original post on f.sprovoost.nl]

This illustrates the scale and level of detail with which #Volkswagen spies on its customers. Their first reaction: lying that no sensitive information was leaked and the hack was sophisticated […] [Original post on f.sprovoost.nl]

Good encryption is not vulnerable to a known-plaintext attack, but that's no reason for #NATO to yolo here. They used a plaintext that's fully knowable by an adversary with a good antenna, a clock and some knowledge of the pilot schedule. If said adversary […] [Original post on f.sprovoost.nl]

Geofencing needs to die in a fire. And more generally you should always offer a "website". "App not available in your region" image.nostr.build/b64dd94c496b89228… […] [Original post on f.sprovoost.nl]

A table for how fast you can actually drive on Dutch roads without getting a fine, taking various corrections and thresholds into account. Not recommended without accurate cruise control. And reckless driving is a separate offense based on more subjective […] [Original post on f.sprovoost.nl]

A couple more Death Star construction desktop wallpaper attempts. Generated with mflux on the flux.1 dev model. These take about 20 minutes each. You can see the rough composition with 5 steps, and then make the final thing with about 42 steps. It would be […] [Original post on f.sprovoost.nl]

This was a fascinating read. It covers various CIA shenanigans against the Soviet Union, mainly their support for Solidarity in Poland and the Mujahideen in Afghanistan. It was written long before 9/11 when the long term effects showed up. But for the […] [Original post on f.sprovoost.nl]

It seems @6538925e doesn't recognize a pasted npub as such. Apps like @3efdaebb and noStrudel figure it out anyway, but without a tag I don't think they'll be notified […] [Original post on f.sprovoost.nl]

Als je mij vanaf Mastodon volgt (of ziet) en een quote post ziet, dan kan je het oorspronkelijke bericht opzoeken via het ... menu en dan "originele pagina openen". (de links tussen Nostr en ActivityPub zijn enigszins een touwbrug) […] [Original post on f.sprovoost.nl]

@4523be58 I would like more fine grained control over notifications. <https://image.nostr.build/addd55583af1415898fe11a74599fac4446741d59d43a2d9ce212d4aafcedcf6.png> Probably just DMs from people I follow, the rest can wait. Can the worker also be used to […] [Original post on f.sprovoost.nl]

So it seems likely a Bitcoin ASIC can't grind nip-13 proof-of-work. Or can it, with AsicBoost like magic? The event id is manipulated to get leading zeros (in binary). This is supposed to be done by adding a nonce tag and then rotating that, but a miner […] [Original post on f.sprovoost.nl]

How do reply guys / gals avoid getting in loops? And could we trick them into one? <https://image.nostr.build/7ea4f4b9d3ff1a83430fb9d5d31c0baf769913703c01c81249c5f741dd7f128e.jpg>

Even though I don't use LLM models myself (please stop calling these tools "AI"), it's fascinating how they have such a recognizable speaking style (by default). I assume that's more a function of how their Silicon Valley human overlords speak than a […] [Original post on f.sprovoost.nl]
